  • Oundtable on Social Innovation in an Aging Society Through Government & Business Collaboration Rby Japan SPOTLIGHT
    COVER STORY • Anxious Individuals & Governments at a Standstill — METI Envisages How to Live a Proactive Life in an Uncharted Era • 8 oundtable on Social Innovation in an Aging Society Through Government & Business Collaboration RBy Japan SPOTLIGHT This issue’s main topic is to ask how we can live a proactive life in an uncharted era where individuals are anxious and government at a standstill, prompted by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) report issued in May 2017 introducing its collaboration project between METI’s vice- minister and young officials, an exploratory and intellectually stimulating paper on a variety of challenges and new perspectives to tackle them. As the report indicates, not only Japanese but also people all over the world are entering a transition period in which we cannot live through a number of social, economic and political challenges without thinking innovatively. An aging society is one of those challenges encouraging us to be more creative in forging a new social system where the old and the young can share well-being and happiness. We will need leaders who can help produce such social innovation. Chiaki Hayashi, co-founder of Loftwork Inc., and Daisuke Asano, director of the Education Service Industries Office of METI, are among those who can show us a new path to a happy and innovative aging society. Japan SPOTLIGHT held a dialogue with them in Loftwork’s Tokyo office. (Roundtable on March 14, 2018) Introduction I said that it would absolutely be the task of meeting the JS: Could you please needs of an aging society.

  • Sustainability and Indicators of Newly Formed World-Class Universities (Nfwcus) Between 2010 and 2018: Empirical Analysis from the Rankings of ARWU, QSWUR and THEWUR
    sustainability Article Sustainability and Indicators of Newly Formed World-Class Universities (NFWCUs) between 2010 and 2018: Empirical Analysis from the Rankings of ARWU, QSWUR and THEWUR Zhimin Liu 1, Goodluck Jacob Moshi 2,* and Cynthia Mwonya Awuor 2 1 Higher Education Institute, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China; [email protected] 2 College of Public Administration, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 25 February 2019; Accepted: 10 April 2019; Published: 14 May 2019 Abstract: In the 21st century, sustainability and indicators of world-class universities have come within the scope of an academic cottage industry. The complex problem of university sustainability implies a big challenge for countries and educators to implement important strategies in an integrated and comprehensive way. This paper highlights and analyzes the sustainability indicators of universities included as newly formed world-class universities (NFWCUs) in the top 100 from 2010 and 2018. The integration of three global ranking scales—the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), the Quacquarelli–Symonds World University Ranking (QS) and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THEs)—allows us to minimize the impact of the methodology used. This study integrates regression analysis by using statistical grouping, case studies and normative analysis. Our principal findings are as follows: among the commonly ranked top 100 universities in 2018, the ARWU, QS and THE counted 57, compared with 47 in 2010. Thus, comparing 2010 and 2018 shows that 44 of the universities appeared simultaneously in ARWU, QS and THE rankings and maintained a sustainable position in any ranking system in the family of top 100 groups.

  • Tokyo Kasei University
    University Accreditation Results (Results for Certified Evaluation and Accreditation for university) Tokyo Kasei University Basic Information of the Institution Ownership: Private Location: Tokyo, Japan Accreditation Status Year of the Review: 2017 Accreditation Status: accredited （Accreditation Period: April.01.2018 – March.31.2025） 2 Certified Evaluation and Accreditation Results for Tokyo Kasei University Overview Tokyo Kasei University (hereafter, the University) first began as the sewing school Wayo Saiho Denshujo, founded in 1881 under the spirit of “autonomy and independence” to foster “capable female role models with academic knowledge and skills for the new era.” The school gained university status in 1949 when it began offering the two undergraduate programs of life sciences and clothing sciences in the Faculty of Home Economics. At present, the University has four undergraduate schools (Faculties of Home Economics, Humanities, Nursing, and Child Studies) and one graduate school (Graduate School of Humanities and Life Sciences) located on its Itabashi Campus in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, and Sayama Campus in the city of Sayama, Saitama Prefecture. Since the previous accreditation, the University has designated the following as priority objectives: establishment of an internal quality assurance system; promotion of higher education quality assurance; establishment of an academic IR system; and development of learning outcome assessment measures. Both faculty groups and graduate school committees have worked with the Tokyo Kasei University Teaching Reform Study Committee to create a framework to drive improvement, and progress has been achieved in a number of areas, including enrollment management, teacher-student ratios, faculty age composition, and curriculum development with a coordinated sequence of courses. The review recognizes the social cooperation and contribution activities carried out by research institutes and centers in partnership with students, faculty and staff as a notable feature of the University.

The George Eliot Review. 381. http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/ger/381 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the English, Department of at DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. It has been accepted for inclusion in The George Eliot Review by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. JAPANESE BRANCH REPORT By Eri Satoh On Saturday 28 November 2015 , the Nineteenth Annual Convention of The George Eliot Fellowship of Japan was held at Obirin University. The morning session started with an opening address by Maiko Otake (Oborin University). Two papers were presented in the morning session. The first was chaired by Hiroshi Ikezono (Yamaguchi University) and the second by Michiko Kurisu (Daito Bunka University). The first paper by Shinsuke Hori (Nihon University) was entitled 'Romola (1863): The Description of Nature and Social and Private Spaces in five "Recollections"'. He analyzed how Eliot acquired her writing techniques in the early novels as she developed her recognition of nature described in five 'Recollections'. He pointed out that in 'Recollections' she gradually comes to describe landscape in detail and use such detailed description to project her subjectivity. He concluded that this way of writing, for example, likening life to the stream of a river, can be seen in novels like Romola as well as Adam Bede and The Mill on the Floss.
